Mariah Carey Shares Hilarious Reaction to Holiday Season Ending

by

All Mariah Carey wants for Christmas is for the festive season to continue.

Oh my gosh, you guys, Mariah just reacted to her Christmas decorations coming down! It was the funniest thing! Like, the holiday season is officially over, and she was totally having a moment about it. I mean, she’s Mariah Carey, Christmas is her thing, so seeing her playfully upset about taking everything down was just…perfect. I can’t stop thinking about it!

A funny video set to Mariah Carey’s “In Your Feelings” shows the 56-year-old playfully protesting when friends try to remove an ornament from her Christmas tree. She jokingly pretends to be upset about the end of the holiday season, yelling “no!” repeatedly.

As Mariah captioned the Jan. 3 X video, “When they say ‘Christmas is over.’”

As the holiday season winds down, Mariah Carey received a special gift from Santa this year: quality time with her 14-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe.

Mariah Carey shared a sweet family photo on December 26th, posing in a red dress with her children, Roc and Roe, whom she shares with Nick Cannon. The twins were dressed in matching holiday sweaters featuring Mariah’s face and lyrics from her famous song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”

It’s understandable, especially since my mom’s famous Christmas song hit two billion streams on Spotify this December.

Besides enjoying time with her teenage children, the singer of “Obsessed” has shared that she loves other holiday traditions, like a sleigh ride without Santa on Christmas Eve. She usually spends this time in Aspen, Colorado.

She explained to Extra in 2021 that being in Aspen is completely different from being at home in L.A. because of the snow. She loves it, saying the snowy scenery feels like a beautiful part of the atmosphere – she’ll look out the window and think, ‘This is amazing!’

She particularly enjoys relaxing in a very hot tub during the winter, describing the experience as “just incredible and hard to put into words.”

Mariah enjoys cooking on Christmas Eve, using recipes from her father, and they have a classic Christmas dinner the next day. She admits she gets help with the cooking, but she loves making the mashed potatoes herself.

Even though Mariah Carey is well-known as the “Queen of Christmas,” her affection for the holiday season is truly heartfelt.

She felt it was dismissive to simply state, ‘This is just who I am.’ She expressed a deep love for the holidays, saying that even though preparations like decorating and making music are enjoyable, they don’t compare to the feeling of the holidays themselves. She considers herself a traditionalist when it comes to the holidays, even preferring them even when not celebrated in a wintery setting.

In addition to her love for the Dec. 25 celebration, keep reading for more facts about Mariah.

Mariah Carey was born on March 27, 1970, to Alfred Roy Carey and Patricia Hickey. Her mother faced disapproval from her own family for marrying a man of African-American and Afro-Venezuelan heritage. Mariah’s parents divorced when she was three years old.

Her name, Maria, is inspired by a song of the same pronunciation – “They Call the Wind Maria” – from the 1951 Broadway musical Paint Your Wagon. While the spelling differs, it sounds identical.

Growing up, her family – including her two older siblings – faced racism due to her parents being in an interracial marriage. This included serious incidents like their dogs being poisoned and their car being destroyed in an explosion.

Patricia described a terrifying experience during a 1999 interview with Oprah Winfrey and her daughter. She recalled a night when someone shot a bullet through their window while they were eating dinner. Thankfully, none of the children were hurt because they weren’t in the room at the time.

When Mariah Carey was a student at Harborfields High School in Greenlawn, New York, she was frequently absent from class, earning her the nickname “Mirage.” Her guidance counselor, John Garvey, was very concerned about her truancy, as detailed in Marc Shapiro’s 2001 biography.

Garvey explained that no amount of talking could change her mind. She’d consistently dismiss concerns, stating her ambition to become a rock star was her priority. Carey responded by saying she understood why people tried to motivate her academically, as they hadn’t yet witnessed her singing talent.

While Mariah Carey was recording her album Music Box, she started dating Tommy Mottola, the head of Columbia Records. They married in a grand ceremony on June 5, 1993, but separated in 1997. Carey later explained that his controlling behavior and disagreements about her music led to the end of their marriage.

In her reality show, Mariah’s World, Carey discussed a past relationship where she felt very controlled. She described being with someone much older and powerful who isolated her from friends and family. She even needed his permission to leave the house and felt trapped, unsure if she’d ever escape the situation.

Mariah Carey wrote her very first song, “Here We Go ‘Round Again,” when she was in high school. She’s said the song, which appeared on a four-song demo tape, has a sound reminiscent of Motown music.

After high school, she moved to Manhattan and shared a small one-bedroom apartment with four other women. She juggled working as a waitress and coat check attendant with her cosmetology studies, all while working towards her goal of becoming a musician.

Even as a toddler, Mariah Carey showed incredible musical talent. By age two, she amazed her mother – a singing teacher and opera performer – by perfectly copying her operatic style. She started formal vocal training at four years old and developed a voice with an extraordinary range of five octaves.

After Mariah Carey met up-and-coming singer Brenda K. Starr, she joined Starr at a CBS Records Christmas party. Starr encouraged her to share her demo tape, and it eventually reached Tommy Mottola, the head of Columbia Records. Mottola was so impressed after hearing just two songs that he immediately signed her.

Mariah Carey’s first album, simply titled ‘Mariah Carey,’ came out on June 12, 1990. It quickly earned her two Grammy Awards, including the Best New Artist award. This made her the first artist since the Jackson 5 to have the first four songs from their debut album all reach the top of the charts.

Mariah Carey has always admired Marilyn Monroe. In 1999, she spent over $600,000 to buy Monroe’s white baby grand piano at a Christie’s auction.

Mariah Carey met Nick Cannon while filming her “Bye Bye” music video in 2008, and they quickly began dating. Just two months later, on April 30th, they had a private wedding ceremony in the Bahamas. The couple separated in 2014.

Despite experiencing a miscarriage early in their marriage, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon had twins in 2011: Moroccan and Monroe. Monroe was named after Marilyn Monroe, whom Carey greatly admired. Moroccan’s name came from the Moroccan-themed décor of the room where Cannon proposed.

In 2008, Mariah Carey faced criticism after performing at a New Year’s Eve concert for the family of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. She later expressed regret for participating in the event, calling it a mistake. In 2011, her representative, Cindi Berger, announced that the proceeds from Carey’s song “Save The Day” would be donated to human rights charities. The song was ultimately released in 2020.

In 2001, she unexpectedly appeared on the MTV show TRL, pushing an ice cream cart and taking off her clothes, which led to a highly unusual incident. Following this, she spent two weeks in a Connecticut mental hospital, explaining that she was suffering from severe exhaustion.

As a lifestyle advocate, I’ve always believed in the power of openness, and I’m sharing something personal today. I was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder a few years ago, back in 2018, but I kept it to myself for a long time. I’m now at a point where I’m comfortable talking about it, and honestly, it feels really good. My biggest hope is that we can break down the stigma surrounding mental health, because going through something like this alone can be incredibly isolating. It’s so important to remember that a diagnosis doesn’t define you, and I’m determined not to let it control my life.

Only a few months after leaving the hospital, Mariah Carey released the movie Glitter. Unfortunately, both the film and its soundtrack failed to gain traction, leading Virgin Records to pay her $50 million to end their contract. In early 2002, she then signed with Island Records and also started her own record label, MonarC.

While Glitter isn’t her only movie role, Carey received critical acclaim for her performance as a social worker in Precious, a 2009 film directed by her friend Lee Daniels. She later reunited with Daniels in 2013 for The Butler, where she played Hattie Pearl, the mother of Forest Whitaker’s character, Cecil Gaines.

From 1995 to 2017, Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day” held the record for the longest time at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, staying in the top spot for 16 weeks. It later shared that record with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” featuring Justin Bieber, until Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” broke the record in the summer of 2019.

Mariah Carey’s two Jack Russell terriers travel in ultimate luxury – first class, each with their own dedicated attendant. The reason? They reportedly can’t stand each other!

After her career rebounded with the 2005 album The Emancipation of Mimi, Mariah Carey started doing endorsement deals for the first time. She began with commercials for Intel Centrino computers. In 2006, she signed on with Gillette’s “Legs of a Goddess” campaign and reportedly insured her legs for $1 billion.

Carey met Australian businessman James Packer through a mutual friend, director Brett Ratner, at a movie premiere in Aspen, Colorado, and they became engaged in January 2016.

The billionaire, who started the production company RatPac Entertainment with Ratner, proposed with a large 35-carat diamond ring. However, the engagement ended by October, and both individuals hinted the breakup was due to problems with each other.

Okay, seriously, Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas album from 1994? It’s not just a classic, it’s a phenomenon! Over 18 million copies sold – it’s THE best-selling Christmas album, period. And then, after 25 years?! In December 2019, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” finally hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100! I almost lost it! It broke so many records, including how long it took to get there. It cemented her as the artist with the most number one hits, ever, but the best part? She’s the only artist to have a number one song in four different decades! It’s just…iconic. I’ve been telling everyone for years she’s a queen, and that song deserves all the praise!

Beyoncé’s godmother is the famous singer Patti LaBelle, who has said she used to playfully spank Beyoncé when she was growing up.

Following her split from Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey soon began dating backup dancer Bryan Tanaka. Their developing relationship was documented on her reality show, Mariah’s World.

25. She does not know Jennifer Lopez. So stop asking her.
